Wow. Really well done. It's still hard to believe that who did this wasn't a traditional media big corporation. I feel kinda sorry for the crew editing this while the event is happening. Which leads me to a question about ANNtv's crew: are they fans who have gone pro or journalists hired by ANN? Congratulations once again.

OMG. Kaiba and the sequel to Birdy the Mighty were the topics that really got me excited. I should probably have been impressed by the English spoken here, but then again it's Tokyo. Most metropolises nowadays everyone speaks at least two languages really well.

Really sorry, but a tiny complaint. Please don't let the reporter hold the microphone with two hands. Maybe get Evan Miller from the chest up. And make the logo on the mike bigger. Nice suit btw.

Great job to all involved with putting together the podcast so quickly!

The video was much more entertaining then this video about the 2007 TIAF. Granted this video is aimed at business people planning to travel to Japan to sign deals.

Clearly it's working for at least some people, but I can't get the video to load at all. I've tried multiple times across several hours, but it just sits there trying to load with nothing actually happening. I don't usually have any trouble getting ANNtv to play.

We switched to h.264 video this time for better quality. Make sure you have the newest flash plug-in. (Get it at Adobe's website.)

Installed that, and verified with the version check at Adobe's website. The video still won't play though... the player loads fine, but when you hit play it just sits there with the loading symbol rotating indefinitely.

Could be ISP-related I guess, but my connection seems fine otherwise.

I also have installed the most recent flash player and also have the problem of it just sitting trying to buffer and not going anywhere.

I'm also having issues. I downloaded the newest version of Flash, just to be sure, using that link. But it just loads and loads...

I was gonna use the DailyMotion link like I did once before to view a video that wouldn't play, but it didn't seem to be uploaded there.

Same problem here. I have flash 9.0.115.0 and the video doesn't play either on Linux or Windows.

I had problems with the Michael Arias interview which kept freezing at some points or not loading at all. Tried just now and it played fine. Better upload this episode at Dailymotion as an alternative for those having issues.

The video has started working for me now, and now that I've been able to watch it I have to echo the comments in the first post. This was really well put together, up to professional video news outlet standard. Evan did a great job, as did everyone else involved in making this happen.

Is there any more video coverage to come?

The problem is not you all of you but on the server where that video stored, the server probably having a haeavy trafic that caused by too many peoples trying to download or view it.

I loved the video. Thank you to those who put it together. It showcased a lot of nifty stuff!

By the way, who did the voice for the video? He's really good. Very pleasant and listenable.

No, the streaming service we're using is capable of handling millions of simultaneous viewer, ANN TV does not place that kind of load on it.

That was Evan Miller, Jariten on the forum.
